Power

Retaining data with power off

When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries

retain data for the following approximate time periods.

Extending battery life

To maximize the life of your battery packs:

■

At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source

and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges.

Before doing so, follow the steps as detailed below.

Turn off the computer's power.

Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it

does not turn on then go to Step 4.

Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find

that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,

continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged,

however, if the

Battery

indicator flashes or there is some other

warning to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.

Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and

to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The

DC IN

indicator should

glow blue, and the

Battery

indicator should glow amber to indicate

that the battery pack is being charged, however, in the event that

DC IN

indicator does not glow this indicates that power is not being

supplied - check the connections for the AC adaptor and the power

cord.

Charge the battery pack until the

Battery

indicator glows blue.

■

If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

■

If you will not be using the system for an extended period, for example

for more than one month, remove the battery pack from the computer.

■

Disconnect the AC adaptor when the battery is fully charged -

overcharging will make the battery hot and can shorten its operating life.

■

If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours,

disconnect the AC adaptor.

■

Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Replacing the battery pack

Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item.
